Sanyo M1

Does anyone know if sanyo has stuck with their half-done "voicecommand" where you have to record yourself saying each one of your phonebook entries manually, or if they have gone with the technology that samsung uses for their voicecommand? another thing... does anyone know if sanyo has also stuck with their half-done audio routing for bluetooth where you have to transfer the audio to your headset manually as with the katana, or if they've made it so that it will automatically connect to the headset when you're trying to call someone? tia. kthxbye.

This phone gives the guys at sanyo something to gloat about.

I say good job, finally.

I just got my phone last night and I am loving it. I am A HUGE sanyo fan and couldn't wait until they Released the M1.

I am playing around with it and I have run into a couple of issues and I wanted to know if anyone is having the same problem or is it just me.

1. If you have the bluetooth headset is on, the phone will not send an alert to it when something other than a phone call comes in like a text message. So there is really no way to know that you have a message unless you have it on vibrate or loud enough to hear it if it is not on you..

2. If the bluetooth headset is on, the handset is still making noise (rings) when a call comes in even though the headset mode / ringer sound is set to headset only.

Like i said before ...
(continues)

Is it possible to ansewr a call with the phone closed? Can you activate the speaker and close the phone? Can you use the walkie talkie with phone closed?

When is the phone scheduled to be in stores?

does this phone click/snap like other sanyos? thanks!

Based on my post on sprintusers it seems I am not alone in having a problem with my M1 while charging on vibrate mode. Every Sanyo I have owned in the last 4 years has switched to a ringer in this situation. The M1 not only doesn't switch to ring but it doesn't vibrate either! So if you are like me and have your phone on vibrate all of the time and you put it on the charger your phone will not ring or vibrate to indicate a call is coming in, it is completely silent!

Hopefully this will be fixed quickly by a firmware update but wanted to give the warning out to potential buyers if this is a big deal for you.

What's the difference?? I looks to me that the Sanyo copied the LG Fusic look from the external display!!

Anyway which on should I get?
Any suggestions. I currently have the Samsung SCH-970 from verizon and I'm planning to switch to Sprint.

Some couple of questions before i make up my mind:

Does this phone have a memory card slot?

Does it sound good in both stereo speakers when listening to music?

Help me decide??

Just at first glance anyway. At least the flip and around the screen.

FWIW, I just added a photo of the back, in case you're curious what the camera part looks like.

first to post, nice phone too bad it doesnt have a slot for more memory.

How big are the music keys on the front of the screen? They look small to me. Are they the same size as the LG Fusic?

I thought this has a mSD slot ? is that a NO on this ?

also those who HAVE THIS how BIG IS IT ??? compared to the A900 ?

Also comparison this verse the M610 from samsung ? small internal but has mSD ? also thin but I like sanyo and I like larger external LCD ???

Need some info I am about to get the M1 or the M610 and also NO ONE has both for me to look at in person (in fact NO ONE HAS EITHER to look at in person!!!)

But what is the "buddy" for this phone. I know it's kinda childish and silly, but I always thought that was one of the cutest things about Sanyo phones...the buddy...and I know they change with each phone, or every couple of phones, right? So...what's the buddy on the M1? TIA!

What do you guys think...? which one is better? I've never owned a Sanyo, and I'd like to try one, but I want the best one out...Thanks!
